Mercedes-Benz GLC EV review: Clean run

-
Image
The Mercedes-Benz GLC EV you see here is not merely an electric derivative of the GLC you and I are familiar with. It’s built on an all-electric platform, and it’s longer, wider, and built on a slightly larger wheelbase than the GLC. And it also does 0-100kph in just 4.3 seconds. The big news is that it’s coming to India by the end of the year. There’s lots to talk about, so let’s go one by one. Mercedes-Benz GLC EV Exterior Design and Engineering - 8/10 Large new grille reminiscent of older Mercs Let’s talk styling first, and what catches your attention up front is this large new grille. It’s very different from what we’ve seen of Mercs of late, but it actually has a link to Mercs of old. The upright grille is styled to look like the one on iconic models like the W112 S-Class, but there’s a lot of modernity built into it as well. There are 942 lighting elements in it! Talking of lighting, the three-pointed star on the nose glows and there’s a tri-star DRL pattern in the headlights to...

Top 11 Adventure tourers between Rs 2-5 lakh

-
Image
Ten years ago, Royal Enfield made adventure tourers mainstream with the original Himalayan 411 and the segment has slowly, but surely grown since. As with any other thing that gains popularity, this segment also has gained different kinds of options. On the one hand, we have the V-Strom that’s effectively a Gixxer 250 on stilts, and on the other, we have the KTM 390 Adventure S that looks to strike a fine balance between both adventure and touring capabilities. Admittedly, this can get a bit overwhelming, so here are all the adventure touring motorcycles you can buy in India right now between Rs 2-5 lakh. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi. 11. TVS Apache RTX 300 Starts at Rs 1.99 lakh TVS is the most recent (new) entrant into the segment, with the Apache RTX 300 redefining how many features you can pack into on a relatively affordable budget. The RTX’s 299.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with 36hp and 28.1Nm of torque isn’t the most exciting but has the ability t...

Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ road test review

-
Image
When we first drove the all-new, all-electric Mercedes-Benz CLA, we came away impressed with its smooth powertrain and its promise of a substantial real-world range. We’ve now subjected it to our real-world performance and efficiency tests to see if it delivers on that promise. Mercedes CLA 250+ exterior design and engineering - 8/10 Polarising, aero-efficient design; based on new MMA platform. The new CLA has been designed with efficiency very much in mind, but Mercedes hasn’t completely abandoned the visual character that made the original car appealing. Its smooth, rounded silhouette is familiar from other Mercedes EVs, yet the low-slung, coupé-like roofline and frameless doors give it a distinct identity. Flush-fitting door handles, a sealed-off grille, aero-optimised 18-inch AMG alloys and a fully sealed underbody all contribute to an exceptionally slippery shape, with a drag coefficient of just 0.21Cd. Mercedes’ three-pointed star features prominently across the CLA, appearing o...

Suzuki e-Access vs Yamaha EC-06 comparison: Night & Day

-
Image
While the Indian manufacturers have been quick to capitalise on the EV boom, the Japanese have been rather more measured in their approach. Honda arrived in 2025 with not one but two in-house electric scooters, though both had unique limitations that prevented them from succeeding. Suzuki, like Honda, chose to develop its own platform from scratch, but its e-Access appears expensive for what it offers. Yamaha, meanwhile, took a markedly different route for its more affordable offering and partnered with an Indian startup. The EC-06 is, in essence, a more expensive River Indie in sharper clothes.  So if you’ve been waiting for a Japanese e-scooter, you now have two choices, but like their very different inceptions, both also offer you two very different flavours of electric scooter. The question, then, is which one deserves your money – and whether either deserves it over the competition. Not hiding in plain sight Subtle, these scooters are not. Both take distinctly left-field appr...
